Property Division
In almost every divorce, the issue of property division plays a predominant role. One party and his or her lawyer may be working to protect and secure assets, while the other may be struggling for financial survival.
Regardless of what your individual circumstance may be, finding a way to maintain financial stability after the divorce is an essential part of the property division process. Mediation and the collaborative divorce process both maximize the options for dividing marital property and debt in fair and realistic ways. Ways that allow both parties to move forward with financial peace of mind.
Attorney Sue Brown uses a problem-solving approach to develop creative strategies for win-win resolutions of property division issues. She ensures that her clients understand the process and the implications of various distribution options.

Dividing Property and Debts
Property division can be a complicated matter, regardless of whether there are few assets or many. Each asset must be identified and properly valued before it can be distributed, and many times individual assets, like a home or certain retirement accounts, cannot be divided.
Both divorce mediation and the collaborative divorce process can provide substantial benefits for navigating property division:
- Facilitating efficient and open exchange of financial information and documents
- Addressing the parties' unique financial needs and interests, rather than relying on "cookie cutter" approaches
- Encouraging the parties to use their own creativity and knowledge of their situation to arrive at a property settlement that maximizes the benefits for each of them
- Using the most cost-effective methods of resolving issues, thereby minimizing the impact on the marital estate
- Allowing the resolution of all issues in a timely manner so that the parties can make plans for their futures earlier
